Belly Landing in Liberia ?

Wondering if anyone has heard of a Monrovia based, Canadian operated Dash 7 that did a "gear up" landing in a remote strip in Liberia in the past few months?? I think it was being operated for the UN mission there....

I have heard the news as "the gear was forgotten" but no details as of yet. It is quite hard to leave the dunlops up on this machine so lets see what info is forthcoming.
Being a rumour network we should not have to wait long
